Re: Log your rides
Good deal Phy! Glad you liked the ride and the Mile High. Nam (the owner) is Korean (so it makes sense the Korean barbeque was good) and used to work at a five star sushi place in OC.

Re: Log your rides
I am officially envious of your sunshine and warm temps. Looks like a great way to spend the day.

Re: Log your rides
Did a short 45 mile total ride as the weather in Chicago is getting slightly better(high 40s, low 50s).
Started at Lakeview, Chicago, went up to the Northwestern Sailing Center in Evanston, then from there rode up to Higland Park, IL, following the part of the Michigan lake scenic route. Here is a couple pics, one shows the route, and the other one is view of downtown Chicago from Northwestern Sailing center with my bad boy *Muro* in there as well... Hopefully can do longer rides around Lake Michigan as weather gets a little more warmer. Happy Riding! |

Re: Log your rides
Forgot to mention that on the last leg back, I got on the highway for the first time (Lake Shore Dr). Did a little over 60 mph with no issues whatsoever, even with the medium strength winds.
Unfortunately roads around chicago are not very smooth, felt many bumps. Will need to be extra careful if I end up around the same strip at night time... |

Re: Log your rides
Be forewarned the GZ is not the brightest on the road. Most don't even have the light aligned properly to begin with so you may want to check into that. The owners manual will tell you where to find the adjusters, use the bike tool kit screwdriver and find a dark area to play in.
The GZ charging system will not support any real worthwhile driving lights unless you spring for high dollar LEDs. |

Re: Log your rides
We had a SilverStar in the GZ and it worked well but they are a little short on lifespan because of vibration. Be prepared to replace one now and again. My Vstrom has had the same SS bulbs since 2006 due to the much smoother engine and mounting system in the fairing.
